Source: haskell-chasingbottoms
Version: 1.3.1.12-1
Severity: important
Usertags: uploaders

haskell-chasingbottoms 1.3.1.12-1 introduced an invalid Uploaders
field, that has a duplicate uploader Ilias Tsitsimpis.

   $ apt-cache showsrc haskell-chasingbottoms | grep -E '^$|^Version|^Uploaders'
   Version: 1.3.1.11-1
   Uploaders: Joachim Breitner <nomeata at debian.org>, Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi at debian.org>
   
   Version: 1.3.1.12-1
   Uploaders: Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi at debian.org>, Ilias Tsitsimpis <iliastsi at debian.org>

The Debian policy 5.6.3 does not appear to disallow this for Uploaders,
but it also doesn't make any sense to list an uploader twice.

   List of the names and email addresses of co-maintainers of the
   package, if any.
   ...
   The format of each entry is the same as that of the Maintainer
   field, and multiple entries must be comma separated.

The lintian QA tool reports an issue about this problem:

   W: haskell-chasingbottoms source: duplicate-contact Uploaders iliastsi at debian.org
   N: 
   N:   The contact appears more than once in the named field.
   N:   The duplicate information should be removed.
   N: 
   N:   Visibility: warning
   N:   Show-Always: no
   N:   Check: fields/mail-address

This is also causing the Debian QA cron jobs to send error mails,
please fix it as soon as possible.
